I like the idea of not putting anything on my skin that I couldn’t eat.
I don’t always manage that, but this sugar scrub is a step in the right direction. I made it using the lavender oil we started steeping about six weeks ago, but any oil will do. Three parts sugar to one part oil, I can’t say it looks like anything I want to eat, but it does a great job as an exfoliant and moisturizer.
How long will it keep?
Indefinitely, I would think. If you make a small amount – say 1 cup sugar, 2/3 cup oil – you’ll likely use it up pretty quickly in any case.
Thanks!
i’m sorry for sounding so ignorant but can you explain the process of steeping lavendar oil? would love to make this.
We tried two methods, which I wrote about at the link below. I’d say the hot water method worked best, as one of the jars we did without hot water developed mold. https://abundanceacre.com/2015/07/18/sweet-dreams/
